  • 028 - Near Death Experience: What's Your No BS Why? - Pasha Maleknia

    Pasha Maleknia shares his compelling origin story for getting into real estate investing. After a traumatic near-death experience while traveling, Pasha realized he was wasting his prime years working for someone else instead of building his own "box" - assets that would generate money for his family if he was no longer around. This motivated him to start educating himself on real estate investing despite naysayers warning him not to invest during COVID. He bought his first rental property, a duplex, during the pandemic that ended up appreciating significantly in value. This success motivated him to continue investing in more properties. His origin story highlights the importance of having a strong "why" that drives you through challenges on your journey to reaching bigger goals like financial freedom. When your why is compelling enough, it fuels you to put in the hard work needed to achieve those goals.
